Spectacular Vibrant Tiny Home & Amazing Family Community!

- There’s nothing more important in life than the people that we love and this tiny house is all about family and connection. Holly and Charles moved from the Blue Mountains to Queensland so they could help to care for Holly’s mother, who has Alzheimer's disease. In an effort to keep her at home and out of care for as long as possible, the entire family has come together onto an amazing family compound where they can all support each other. This is one of the most beautiful family living situations I’ve ever seen.
The tiny house has a very important part to play here. It gives Holly and Charles a wonderful home base. They are connected to the community and surrounded by family, yet at the same time also have privacy and a quiet place to retreat to. Their home is beautifully crafted and filled with colour and vibrance. When you look at this home, it makes your heart smile.
For Holly and Charles, being in this home has also given them the ability to lower their overheads and explore new career paths. Charles is doing some ultra interesting generative art, while Holly, a former intelligence worker is now helping to connect veterans suffering from PTSD with plant medicine. The move to the tiny home has been a cornerstone of making this massive life shift possible.
This may be a tiny home, but its overflowing with love. I feel very lucky to have been able to meet this amazing family. We hope you enjoy the tour of this beautiful tiny house and the wonderful people who inhabit it.

I’m such a huge fan of multigenerational living and building community. This family compound is a fantastic example of that. Coming together, pooling resources and supporting one another. It’s a beautiful thing. We hope you enjoy this tour! With love, Bryce & Rasa
💐 you two are great spirits, thank you 🌷🌷
First irresponsible video you have shown.
How is this irresponsible?
Yes, this is such an important part of life! Multigenerational existence… community support.
Ya....IF ones family can get along and teuly loves you...😫😒😪
My mom kept saying she wants a family compound and I kept telling her it sounds like she wants to start a cult. This was when I was 18 but now I’m 35 and raising my son on my own and a family compound sounds great now. 😅 lovely home!!!
😂 Family compound does sound a bit like a cult. But yeah! The concept works on so many levels!
I'm 36 and I would love that!! My mom and sister live in same building and I wish we could all build a tiny home community!
My Mom, two younger brothers and I purchased 10 acres in 1987. We bought used mobile homes and spread around a 1/4 mile drive. Precious time spent here with family and friends. Lost my baby brother in 2002, we framed houses together, we took our families on vacation together, church, fishing, camping, Disney World, before they lost their minds...he was my best friend and without our family property, I wouldn't have had all that precious time we did spend together.

Thank you for bringing us to such a lovely and spiritual place. Thanks to this wonderful couple for sharing how families can and do come together for one another. This tiny house gives off such a peaceful and creative vibe. Does that even make sense? It very much comes off as a healing place. Thank you again for sharing this inspirational couple with us.
At the end of this video I just cried. I gave up everything to take care of my mom that had dementia. I had 2 years left with her (doctors said 6 months.) She lived in a very small, cute duplex in Alhambra, CA. We all adjusted, and I left that experience being very proud of that sacrifice. Yes, I am a believer in multi-generational living when that time comes. Thank you for sharing, and thank you family for doing this for your mother. Only good will come to you, Be Blessed!!!!!
The world needs more people to give back in anyway, in this case a community home, to those that took care of us.
Byrce this and several videos that you made recently have it home. Please continue to give a voice to the importance of family. I'm 60, sick, with 2 adult children who do not care. Blessings in all you do 🙏🏻. As a side note, I am indoor plant lover and often wonder who will take care of them when can no longer do so. Wish I could shipped all to and your lovely wife. Peace.
I'm not crying. You're crying. Lol. What a beautiful story about how profoundly valuable and precious community is.
Ahaha, I'm glad I'm not the only one getting caught off guard by those pesky invisible ninja's who are probably cutting onions again.
The last scenes made me cry. How lovely she speaks about taking care of her mother....These are the things that truly matter, a heartwarming way of being there for one another. And besides that: A really lovely home. Thank you for the video and greetings from Germany 😊
...and Bryce, I wrote my comment before finishing the Video. And now I heard, what your comment about this Tour was and it is excactly what I'm thinking and was not able to put it in such good words 🥰
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour!
One of your deepest and most sensitive shows. It brought me into tears. God bless the family for what they are doing for their mom. Love, Bryce. A nice one!
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏼
Dang, ladder inside the bay window is such a great space saving design idea
Pretty clever how it's tucked in there!
May be my favorite part of it all.
This brought tears to my eyes. Both my parents had dementia. I hope this lovely family can make great memories with their Mum. It will help so much for them to remember the happy times. I wish them all the best from Canada.
This is above everything else, a heartwarming story. The close family unit, the loving look in dad's eyes at the beginning montage looking at mom, the carefree kids playing in the garden, the fact that mom can recognize Bryce face, voice and that last part where they held mom's hands and bringing her into the Tiny for movie night... It's like out of a feel good movie, only this is real life. Im so deeply touched. ❤
Thank you so much! Your kind words mean so much to us 💚
Yeah, I saw dad looking at mom, beautiful ❤.
I was deeply touched, as well. What a reminder of what family CAN be. My own father put my dear mom in a nursing home, wrangled his way into getting power-of-attorney over her life and medical care, and it broke her heart. She was of sound mind when she passed, her death only hastened due to his decisions. When she developed complications following surgery, he got a “Do-not-Revive” order put on her. When she went into respiratory failure, I had to threaten legal action against the hospital in order for her to receive life-saving assistance. My father and I were estranged for a long time due to that incident, but my mom lived four more years. She always wanted to live, no matter what the circumstances, and it was only when her own body failed her that she let herself slip away. I will always love her deeply, but even more, I will always admire her as the fierce warrior she was, as she saw each day as a precious gift. I so wish all families could treasure each moment with their loved ones as this one does. They have managed to carve out meaningful lives for themselves and each other. This short film made me bawl out loud for what could have been.🌻
This is AWESOME. this episode touched my heart specially because my mother also had Alzheimer's 😔💔 it is so important to be with our loved ones in these moments! I hope they can manage to keep mom with them until the end! My mom had assistance here, at home, 2 of my brothers helped me in caring for her. She passed here, at home, where she wanted to be 🙏🏻.
The mind and body deteriorate but the spirit is aware! All my best wishes for this family 🙏🏻
Thank you Rasa and Bryce for the amazing videos and stories you tell 🌷
Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm sorry to hear about your Mums passing, but I'm so glad you and your family were able to care for her and keep her home. Wishing you all the best!
@@livingbigthank you 🙏🏻 🌷🌷🌷
I hope so too, with a little support from outside, such is doable… and if they’d look into natural holistic healing and nutrition, it could better each of their lives a ton.
I went through the same situation with my Mum: my Dad and I cared for her at home and she thrived being able to have what was familiar to her around her all the time. Our house happens to be a large one but I found that caring for an Alzheimer's patient required the use of a only a few rooms - the space of a tiny house like this one, in fact! You are a good soul, friend, and your Mum's spirit will always be around you!
😢😢 when mom comes over and your voice comforts her.
There was a special touch of love with this video not least of which was the connection of Holly's Mum having watched Living Big in a Tiny House so often with Holly and Charles. It was like having come full circle. Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful home & a lovely couple living in a wonderful family environment. I love the design and colours. Sending much love & light.
Thank you!
Your the epitome of what family life is all about.Your mother is blessed.
I'm with her...I love that green/teal and the bed linens in that delicate yellow makes me swoon. I think if it were my home I would have toned the stark white walls with a gentle whisper of that green she loves. Or even a whisper of the yellow. Anything other than just white and things would have still popped and looked fresh. It would also have helped bring nature indoors too. Great job. My heart goes out to you about mom. I wasn't anywhere near her when she required the most care, the last ten yrs of that insidious disease. Good you found a solution. My prayers are with you. NAMASTE 🙏
My sister and I have said for years that we want to have a family compound. I love seeing another family who has done it. This episode brought tears to my eyes. I love this family. Great job Bryce and Rasa!
This house is a great example of how white or bright interiors do make spaces seem much bigger than they are. Amazing project! ♥
Love the colorful tiles.
@@janmay3901 me too! They are beautiful!
@@janmay3901 Me too! That was the first thing I noticed when the camera took us inside! LOVED that touch!
Although I don’t live in a tiny home…. I moved back home to help my mom with my dad Who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Also my daughter and her husband have moved in and are helping. They both have jobs where they work from home so they’re here to help me with my parents/the yard etc.while they save for a home of their own one day. And my other daughter and her fiancé live close by and are over often helping. It helps that we live in a split level house… Having three levels and two family rooms has given everyone ample space while still being together helping each other. Multi generational living can be a beautiful thing…. Especially during these times. LOVE this one Bryce …. It hit home 🏡 ❤️
Fabulous. Hats off to all of you ❤
Beautiful home and love the fact it's a family community, living together to support Dad with Mum...Inside and out...Just AMAZING!
I agree with the family compound. Families need to stick together but in their own invironment
Congratulations Holly and Charles! Your home is BEAUTIFUL! and this green 💚 for you Holly! You are a compassionate fun lady!
Thank you so much, your kind words mean the world 🙏🏼
I have been talking about a family compound for 3-4 years. Especially with the price of homes everywhere it just makes sense! The support and community would be amazing.❤
What a neat opportunity tiny house living offers during this time in their lives. I have a Separett brand composting toilet in my tiny house so if they want to ask real users before buying their next toilet for the tiny, happy to share! And I also love to encourage others to read Dr. Sue’s book “The Energy Codes” for healing of all kinds. Blessings to you all!❤
I loved this colourful tiny home.... But I am in love with the people! They moved me to tears! To take such care of loved ones and especially your parents is very special. It seems as if Bryce was touched as well. Thank you for sharing.
This video was quite profound. It touched on freedom of living as well as freedom of consciousness, which are two intertwined ideas that you don't often see presented together. Thank you for showing that what some might consider 'alternative' is really quite sane and is gradually becoming the norm.
Wonderful to see mom so happy! Good on this family for these choices. 👍😎🇨🇦🙏🌸💚
This video taught me how much more convenient tiny homes can be. People really don’t need alot of space in their homes to have everything you need. Your dream home doesn’t have to be a mansion, it could very much be a tiny home. Living in a portable home in a portable tiny home is very convenient for multiple occupations. Lastly I strongly admire the community you join when you buy a tiny home, because it seems so welcoming.
This story brought me to tears. The tiny house is beautiful and full of light and charm. Holly will treasure forever this time with her mom. How wonderful for them to be present on this journey, near, and yet with a bit of privacy to sustain their relationship as a couple. What a perfect solution for all at this time. Blessings to this dear family.
15:32 the part where they bond over your channel just slayed me. So, so touching. 😭
Bryce, every one of your videos is special, but this one is especially special. ❤
Beautiful home and people. And how lovely that your videos are such a part of their family life. Well done Bryce and Rasa 🥳💜🏡 X
It sure is! I was super touched when they said that. ❤️
What a beautiful way to live. These are good people.
What a lovely tiny episode ❤ it made me feel happy to see her mom smiling and sharing with the ones she loves
Truly caring and loving family. I'm from India. My father was heart patient so we too were fortunate enough to take care of him. Our love and respect to this family. Bryce u did a great job of putting this vdo
Beyond the awesome tiny homes, Bryce, you are so kind and gentle the way you interact with people.
Love this home! So light and airy. The touches of green are very lovely. My father is in the late stages of Alzheimer’s. Thankful my sister and I live near him. Bless all of you for coming together for both of your parents!❤
Blessings on your journeys, each of you!!!!
🌸💗🩵🩷🦋
This home is so bright and cheery, topped off with a lot of love for family. Like the compound idea. I think its great. These two are very special people!
So glad you enjoyed this tour. And I totally agree! I'm such a massive fan of the family compound concept. It's something I'd love to do one day.
A very moving story - I could see you were touched by their living so close to her mom. Very special.
Love how the family is supporting each other.
The beautiful tiles and the pops of green is perfect. 😀
So beautiful a thing to be there for mom n b happy about it!!❤
What a gorgeous home and couple. Your love for your Mum and family is admirable. Wishing you all the best.
Multigenerational settings like this are fabulous in so many ways and the home is beautiful and so refreshing❤
All generations living together, it's a heart warming feeling.
Such a lovely home, for such a beautiful reason, family are everything, I could hear the emotion in your voice Bryce whilst summing it up ❤🇬🇧
Unique couple.
Unique careers.
Unique tiny house. Beautifully built, carefully designed, and a joy to look at.
Love the wall sconce lighting! Not common in tiny house design.
One of your most interesting shows, Bryce. Congrats all 'round!
Bryce & Rasa, this is such a lovely job of presenting one family's solution to such a critical issue combined with the use of tiny houses to facilitate that. Holly & Charles have made a beautiful home for themselves, and the fact that they are able to do that while making such profound changes in their lives gives hope to the rest of us - regardless of the sorts of challenges we face. We can see that it is possible to adapt to responsibilities that we never knew we would need to without becoming swallowed up by them, to embrace lifestyle changes that are needed to support the planet, the community, the family, and each other without losing each other in the process, and to do this with beauty, comfort, and future thinking. I am so impressed. For those of us who are also trying to provide a safe and happy home for someone with rather expansive needs, this video is a wonderful touchstone to return to again and again. Holly, I will be checking out your work in far more detail; and Charles, I am eager to see what your artwork is and what it becomes.
There is an emotional quality to this video that I do not often see in your work, Rasa & Bryce. Perhaps it is the skill in filming and editing - with the images reflecting exactly what the words were saying - that has a flavour to me that is impactful, sweetly happy, and at the same time a little melancholy - and perhaps it was in the summary where your expression seemed so heartfelt, Bryce. The two of you captured something very, very special here. I am not discounting the content, which is exceptional as I have said above, it is in addition to that. Thank you for both your work and your investment in doing it honestly and well. That keeps me coming back and will continue to do so.
A couple who turned their lives turned round to support family. Such a touching story that seemed to have got to you too, Bryce, in your summing up. Holly's Mum seems such a sweet lady. As to the tiny, it's colourful, bright and spacious. Perfect for your needs/lifestyle. Love your 'curious' art, Charles.
What a great story. Their home is lovely, but what it is allowing them to do for their mother, and the life that it is allowing their mother to have for as long as they can, is really a wonderful thing.
Hi Holly & Charles: I love your tiny house, with its pop of colors through the variegated tiled stairs, the wonderful art creations by Charles, and all of the light shining through the windows. Green is one of my favorite colors too, so I especially love your green touches. How lovely that you can help your Dad with caregiving your Mom. She seems happy to be surrounded by her loving family and that's quite a blessing for you all! Jenny p.s. I also really liked your tee shirt "Into the Forest I Go, to Lose My Mind and Find My Soul," so I ordered one myself!
Thank you so much for your kind words Jenny! I appreciate you! Stoked you’ve bought one of the shirts too 😁😁😁
@@Holly-rb2jc You're welcome--Have a great weekend! 🐦🥀🐝
I can't believe it has been around 8 years since following your channel,Bryce..On my side still dreaming though.
Amazing homes, amazing life styles.They have thought me more than a tiny home itself..Thank you!
I know! It's hard to believe it was 10 years ago that I started this channel. The time has just flown by, but what an amazing journey we have been on and how many wonderful people we have got to meet!
Somebody asked me the other day how long I'd been a subscriber, and I said, "Oh, a couple of years." Then I thought about it, and it's actually been 7 years!! The days drag on, and the years fly by!
The idea of getting rid of household things you never use and moving into a tiny with only what you need is very liberating.
This is the first video in the series that I actually teared up at the end. That was beautiful what Bryce said at the end while I had Holly's mom in mind.
Bryce & Rasa, you have the absolute best job! This tiny is so colorful and beautiful, and you always win with natural light! It's so wonderful they can live multigenerational and be there for mom, how wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Lovely home, lovely family pulling together for mom.♥️
The blue siding and white trim make me think of Cape Cod style homes. I liked the outside AND the inside. It's colorful without being overwhelming. Something that is hard to achieve.
Such a beautiful home and beautiful family. I'm not crying!
Bryce, such a Beautiful home.. Thank you for sharing this episode with us!👍❤ I noticed you getting a bit emotional while speaking at the end of this episode.. I can understand. This story made me a bit emotional aswell.. To have family create such a wonderfuland caring support group for their Mother is Awesome.. The pictures and video Rasa created was Amazing , and so Loving! Great Job Rasa❤👏
Bless this family and the sacrifices they are all making. This home is lovely.
💚🩷🩵🦋 Bless bless bless your whole family for coming together to care for your mom!! It makes it possible for everyone that each one of you is there to support each other.
I know what it’s like to be in the opposite scenario, and I’m so glad, and in tears, to see your togetherness.
This video moved me, I confess that I also shed a few tears.
Being close to mom to give her support and love is absolutely wonderful.
The house is beautiful, I like the simplicity and the sense of space. I too have been "obsessed" with tiny houses for many years, your videos have convinced me even more that this is my future.
I won't be happy until I have one for myself!
Thank you Bryce and Rasa!!💞
his tiny hose is a convenient and efficient tool for various tasks. Its compact size doesn't compromise on its ability to deliver strong and precise water flow, making it a versatile and indispensable accessory. 💧🌱
I’m so grateful for your show and the incredible impact it has made in the world. I hope you feel, and can own, the true gift of love that your work offers. It was lovely to hear how this family captured memories for their mother and that you could experience first hand their gratitude and joy. Deep bow, Bryce.
Multi generational living definitely has its appeal. Because everyone still has their own space to do their own thing. While remaining connected & close.❤
Bryce wasn't tearing up. He has allergies! Me too . . .😇
I’m not even going to try and pretend that’s true. 😂 I totally teared up on this one.
@@livingbig 🤗
I loved that you showed that artwork, and clips of the plant ceremony. What a lovely couple.
Your kind words touch our hearts, thank you! 🙏🏼
How amazing that the family can be together to care for the mother. My family didn’t have opportunity when we were losing my mom to Alzheimers. This family is blessed and are wonderful for doing this for each other. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing this with us.
This is a great tiny home. I love how light and bright it is. The colors. The deck. Simplicity is so calming for me.
Phenomenal kitchen, and the countertops! Bathroom is very well designed, and just the layout of the whole home. Thanks for another amazing shoot Bryce and Rasa!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching. :)
Beautiful and extremely heartwarming. Anyone caught the crack in Bryce's voice there. This guy is so very lovely. What a gentleman he is. Great as always, thanks for your integrity 👍🏿.
This family made me 😭❤️🩹 an absolutely wonderful house, and it's amazing that her mom is still there watching and enjoying those tiny homes videos... They are pure joy at the end of the day 😍👏 just another reason to keep on going and making more videos and hearing more wonderful stories and meeting new people. Thank you so much.
Hi, I'm very moved by this tiny's story, beautiful energy that comes from the house and the persons involved, that's powerful. And it's seems that Brice was really moved too, I felt that. Thank you 🙏
Really nice tiny house with a deck but maaaaaannnnn that basketball area is DOPE!!! I think it’s the first time I’ve seen that setup on any of these tiny house channels. I know those kids love that and the trampoline and little jungle gym. 🔥🔥🔥
This is a wonderful example, a model to follow. Also an option when adapted for the senior .
The house may be tiny; however, those garages looked pretty awesome and big. When “psychedelic medicine” was mentioned, I thought of LSD. 😂😂🤪🤪. Try to keep your mom at home. You will be glad you did. My mom had Huntington’s Disease. My sister and I were able to keep her at home until she died (at home). We are glad we did. Work hard for that goal!
Another wonderful tiny home. The pretty tiles on the staircase make the home so special and colorful. What a caring couple looking after their parents. Bless you
How wonderful of them to provide such loving care for her mom. Their home is beautiful, and special and full of love. ❤
Lovely home, but even lovelier story Bryce.
You and Rasa have touched so many people's lives. How special was it when Holly mentioned her mother's association with your program. Heart warming.
Beautiful...everything.
I knew I would get emotional at the end, but Bryce, your words at the end were so hearfelt...yep, the tears came.
Thank you for this episode, it was so very lovely...🥲
What a beautiful tiny home and a beautiful, loving family. I love how the Mom remembers watching tiny house videos with her daughter and your face and voice are still a good lasting memory. I do love how you are so encouraging to all the families and summarize each tiny house with such kindness. I could tell this one in particular touched your heart. ❤️
A building is not a home without family. Thanks for the tour!
I couldn't agree more. Our loved ones are truly the most important thing in our lives. And this cosy little house is just perfect for keeping us connected to family.
This house is elegant and cheerful. More importantly, it is obviously a crucial space for family. What a lovely story. Thank you, Bryce and Rasa!
Beautiful tiny home, beautiful love story. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome!
What a caring family, coming together to take care of Mom, this is what it's about folks. It's all about Mom right now, I love seeing this.
Oh, I like your home.
Love this Tiny House,the mother is very blessed 😊
It’s heartwarming that such beauty, love, and intentionality come together in this tiny house!!! ❤🎉 😊
Adorable colorful tiny house. Love the tiled steps, what a great feature! What's great about it is they can take it with them wherever they want to go.
These are selfless human beings. God Bless, all of them. Thank you, Bryce & Rasa.
A beautiful home not only in itself but for the family and work life it's enabling them to have. Both their jobs sound fascinating and that living tiny also gives them the ability to spend time with and help care for their mum so that she can stay in her home is also very special.
I am so deeply touched by this beautiful, creative, loving couple. Their devotion to Holly's mum is just so lovely. Charles's art is stunning, and as one who has worked with the gift of Ayahuasca many times, I can relate to Holly's healing journey. Oh, and...I , too, live in a tiny house! I love being a part of this growing and vibrant family of tiny home dwellers.❤
Thank You @livingbig For Making Our Life Awesome... Its Been 3 Years Journey With You.. I Hope The Journey Never Ends❤❤
Thank you!!
What an amazing story! A bit of a tear jerker but warming and full of the important things in life. I also connected with Charles with his computer generated artwork; it took me back to a time where I was creating some far less impressive code, but back in the days of 8-bit computers, tiny resolutions and a few colours. I'll be checking out his work for sure. This episode is yet another one that struck a cord with us, and that's why we love the channel!
Such a beautiful tiny home, and really lovely that Holly is able to be with her family and support her mother during this time. Tiny homes have added so many important things to the lives of so many, and I give thanks to Jay Shafer for having come up with the idea of his Tumbleweed! I've been following tiny homes since his first tiny was on the cover of Natural Home magazine in 2000, and Bryce, you have done a brilliant job of holding the torch and keeping this movement building and growing over all the years since you've been sharing
tiny house living. You and Rasa are doing such a beautiful job! Thank you for holding the energy in such a massive way for the tiny house movement over many years.
This looks like a heartwarming story and I cannot wait to see their build. Thanks as always Rasa and Bryce.
This is a really special one Andy! I hope you enjoy it!
This is one of the most moving videos I've seen here. Seeing this couple show up for loved ones, while also healing and evolving, is a painful, but beautiful thing. I'm glad they have such an exquisite sanctuary, where Holly's mum remembers you and they still connect ❤
Beautiful tiny home, I like the fact that she has her mother with her. I miss my mother, my mother passed away a year ago this past July 3rd.
Beautiful tiny homes is nice story to keep families together. She look after mum and Dad for support each other.
Beautiful house love colour inside and outside too
All the best wishes
I love this TARDIS house, and even more, this beautiful couple, their dynamic, attitude, creativity, and approach to life. Beautiful 😍
Light and airy home! Beautiful colors throughout. So very nice to have Family all around~! Thank You for Sharing~
